Enter the Immortal Cultivation

Consciousness is information, that is, data, which can be read, operated, and rewritten.

This is Wang Qi's view all along.

However, this "operating system" is very complex and very fragile. At present, it is still an unknown part. Forcible rewriting can easily cause unpredictable and irreversible changes in the system itself.

You should know that the development cycle of "consciousness" is counted in 100,000 years. The design time of the "operating interface" of "surface consciousness" and "self-consciousness" is also as long as a thousand years [on the earth]. "Developers" include all individuals in at least one cultural circle. The "development cost" may be the GDP of a country for hundreds of years, and the "installation time" is as long as fifteen years.

The most famous operating system on the earth, Windows, takes only three to five years to develop each version, and the installation time is as short as minutes. Among them, the number of lines of code in Windows VISTA is only 50 million, which is 40% more than XP. 60% is the new part, which is 30 million lines. The five-year development cycle, costing $7.5 billion, more than 6,000 R\u0026D personnel, and 30 million lines of source code were already fantastic numbers at the time.

Compared with "consciousness", it is weak.

This is also the reason why Wang Qi has not played with his own self-consciousness so far. As a science man at heart, he has a "technology worship" in his heart and thinks that there is nothing that technology development cannot do. However, he is just a technology worshiper, not a technology fanatic.

The process of this experiment. It is better to use others.

For those who hold this idea, the cultivators in the spirit separation stage are simply the best experimental materials. The spirit separation can carry thoughts and ideas for a long time with ordinary mana, and the thoughts can be transformed into a thought clone. Their mana system is highly connected with the soul. Consciousness and mana have begun to merge into one system. Wang Qi believes that they can even be controlled with an "operating interface".

After being deeply infected by the Heart Demon Curse, Nie Tianren has become a half-curse spirit. In the last mutation, the newly born Nether Fire Curse was not controlled by Wang Qi, which allowed Nie Tianren to temporarily break free from Wang Qi's grip. His consciousness was highly integrated with the Heart Demon System, just like the God System.

Fortunately, the three Heart Demon Curses in his body had not been completely eliminated. For Wang Qi, this was simply an unguarded port! Wang Qi, who had already written many God programs, naturally followed this connection. Installed an "operating program" for the newly born Nether Fire Curse System. Bring it under his control.

At that time, Nie Tianren still tried to attack the Yellow King. "In order to quickly disintegrate the enemy's resistance", Wang Qi "had to" "use some special attack methods" to write some special codes into Nie Tianren's consciousness to transform him...

"Because I have experience in writing Jarvis, I have also purchased the genuine "Acquired Will Editing Toolkit" of Qianji Pavilion, so I have some experience in these. My original idea was to completely disassemble and transcode that consciousness with mathematical means. Turn it into an operating program of the Heart Demon System, and completely combine it with the Heart Demon System and hand it over. The result seems to have failed... The reason is temporarily unknown..."

In response, Wang Qi reached out his hand angrily, and there was a spiritual bottle in it: "This is a small part I copied directly..."

It can be regarded as converting .exe to .txt. When it is converted to .avi, it will be considered a preliminary success...

The final result is that Nie Tianren's Nascent Soul became one of the hardware of the Heart Demon System, and half of his consciousness was incorporated into the operating system, and the other half remained self-conscious, constantly resisting Wang Qi's control. This process actually took only a few minutes. Because Wang Qi did not type the code line by line, but copied the already written code into it and then ran it.

In these few minutes, Nie Tianren was turned into a half-human, half-god monster by Wang Qi.

Because it still has self-awareness, and this self-awareness is deeply hostile to Wang Qi, Wang Qi does not intend to keep it. He took this opportunity to blow up Nie Tianren. Then wait for an opportunity to reinstall the system. In order to make Nie Tianren completely annihilated, Wang Qi even injected the palm power of the Silent Burning Heaven Palm into his Nascent Soul, causing the system to tend to chaos.

And it was precisely because of the existence of the Silent Burning Heaven Palm that Ai Changyuan sensed Wang Qi's purpose.

Mao Zimiao still didn't understand: "But, that Heart Demon Great Curse seems to be very dangerous and can't be used as a fundamental practice... Xiao Qi, why are you experimenting with that?"

Wang Qi patiently explained: "The essence of my practice is to install a system for magic power, and I hope to eventually integrate my own consciousness into it. Isn't this very similar to installing a 'god' for the heart demon spell power and turning a living person into an operating system?"

For Wang Qi, this is a step that he will take sooner or later. His practice is to program his own magic power system. The function of the program, which is equivalent to the "game playability", is determined by physics. But the bottom layer of the game comes from code and hardware - for Wang Qi, it is mathematics and biology. Using mathematics and biology as the foundation, write a magical power based on physics. Consciousness will sooner or later become part of this system.

Ai Changguang was shocked and speechless by Wang Qi's crazy idea. Ai Changguang seemed indifferent. He just pointed out the error in Wang Qi's thinking: "The immortals did not suddenly have the means to leave 'lingbao' [self-awareness] in their mana after a breakthrough. With the transformation of the essence of life, they have thousands of years of Time completes this transformation. This is a gradual process.”

Wang Qi nodded. He once asked Zhenchanzi about his thoughts on practicing ancient methods to improve the essence of life. Zhen Chanzi is only one step away from the immortals. He has walked all the roads he should take, so he is naturally knowledgeable about these things. Qi training, foundation building, and elixir formation are all just breakthroughs in the "body." During this process, the soul gradually grows and takes over the responsibility of thinking from the brain. The Nascent Soul, on the other hand, forges a "spiritual power organ" and uses the Nascent Soul to accommodate the soul, allowing the soul and the mana system to become one. Distractions turn into thoughts, and the mana system begins to carry thinking. The integration is to incorporate the physical body into this system, making the mana system become the main part of the life system.

This process takes a very long time. It takes about three to five hundred years from Qi training to Yuanying, and it takes at least a thousand years to develop from Yuanying to distraction. Three thousand years of integration can be said to be fast.

Such a long time is enough for the monks to slowly adapt to the changes in their thinking organs and adjust their self-awareness.

However, Jinfa's research on the nature of heaven and earth has made promotion more difficult and faster. The thinking organ is constantly changing, and this change is sometimes uncontrollable.

This is equivalent to organic disease occurring in the brains of people on earth, and people's personalities may also change as a result.

Therefore, modern Dharma cultivation emphasizes mindfulness more than ancient Dharma cultivation. This is not because modern practice is more ambitious or anything, but in theory, ancient practice does not require special time to train the mind. They were promoted so slowly that they had enough time to get used to it all.

"The purpose of refining one's mind in the world of mortals is not to let the qualitative change of the soul affect one's temperament, but you are actually studying how to connect the soul with mana..." Ai Changguang really couldn't say anything about this.

Wang Qi snorted: "This is an alternative method that is only used when the technical means are low-level. If all this can be solved with technical means, the process of 'refining the heart in the world of mortals' can be completely thrown away..."

Mao Zimiao said weakly: "Actually, everyone is different. Using that method... I always feel weird..."

"I want everyone to have the freedom to dominate their own minds!" Wang Qi shook his head: "There are always some people who regard some of their bad habits as personality, and the bad habits that they rarely contract as themselves - obviously they themselves want to get rid of those They always feel that their freedom is being violated despite others admonishing them. This is clearly a manifestation of the mind being restricted by material conditions.”

"The development of human character and the formation of personality are always interfered by the material world. What you think of as 'personality' is actually a collection of external infections. Don't you think that many people's bad habits are similar? My thoughts , is to bring that absolute freedom to everyone, so that everyone can completely control their own personality according to their own ideas! "

"I am who I am, a different firework", regard rebellion as individuality, regard rebellion against the mainstream as autonomy, regard bad habits as a manifestation of self-awareness, and then sing "I am born with talents that will be useful." In Wang Qi's view, this was entirely the result of too much poisonous chicken soup.

If you ask a criminal if he is willing to be a good person if given a chance, eight or nine of them will say "yes" - of course, if most of them really have a chance to do it again, they will Nine times out of ten, you will still go down this road. Maybe it's because of greed, maybe it's because of indolence. However, except for a very small number of anti-social personalities, no one will do evil for no reason. This is all because material conditions promote negative desires, and the heart is not strong enough to resist such desires.

If you can edit your own personality and give yourself the willpower to fight against this "negative emotion", this is the great freedom of the soul.

Because freedom is not about doing whatever you want, but not doing anything you want not to do.

Gaining power and then doing whatever one wants does not mean spiritual freedom, but the complete surrender of the mind to matter.

"In other words, your plan is to give everyone the power to become a saint..." Ai Changyuan clapped softly: "If it succeeds, remember to let me use it..."

Ai Changguang spent a long time before sighing: "You are really..."

amazing.

Ai Changguang actually wanted to say this. Although Wang Qi's approach was unacceptable to him for a while, if his idea was really realized, wouldn't anyone be able to obtain some of the characteristics of an immortal during the Qi refining stage?

At that time, the only condition that limits one's realm is the mastery of theoretical knowledge. Perhaps by that time, true geniuses can become immortals around the age of twenty...

That is, the great freedom of the mind to completely get rid of material constraints! (To be continued ~^~)

PS: Freedom is not about doing whatever you want, but not doing anything you want not to do - Kant. I think the three views of philosophers from the Kant and Hegel lines are very correct. Self-discipline is freedom, comrades, please feel free to hand over your monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, subscriptions, and rewards!
